A celebration of creativity
Programming designed to inspire, challenge and entertain
The Levinsky Gallery exhibition series opens with Resonating Bodies, exploring the complexities of relationships between humans and machines. The exhibition responds to the fragility and uncertainty that we face in our increasingly digital and automated world. At a time when our sense of being is in a state of flux, the artists, Karen Abadie and Laura Rosser, lean into this unknown through the materiality of the machine.
This interactive exhibition has inspired related programming across film, with Ghost in the Shell, Friends in High Places and Brian and Charles. In addition to its own series of Bitesize gallery talks, many featuring University of Plymouth academics across a range of disciplines and research areas, there’s opportunity to flex your own creativity, taking part in workshops with the artists.
Later in the spring and into the summer the Gallery will host
The World Illustration Awards 2023 Touring Exhibition showcasing all Award-Winning and Highly Commended projects across ten industry-relevant categories and including material that tells the story of the ideas, processes and artists behind the work. Next we welcome
Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize, now in its 30th year, and widely regarded as the most prestigious open exhibition dedicated to drawing in the United Kingdom.
The
Musica Viva concert series continues with the January visit of
The London Gershwin Players, with Mark Forkgen, conductor and Robert Taub, piano, an unmissable upbeat celebration of Gershwin and the 100th anniversary of Rhapsody in Blue, followed by the
Kleio Quartet in March, fresh from their First Prize and Commission Prize awards at the 2023 Carl Nielsen International Chamber Music Competition performing two stunning works for string quartet, Mozart’s Quartet in G major K.378 and Bartok fourth String Quartet, followed by Brahms’ mighty Piano Quintet, a collaboration with pianist Robert Taub. We’re also delighted to host the University Orchestra and Choral Society for their concerts this spring.
